Adding a light to a Particle System illuminates the environment and objects around the particles and makes the effect more impactful. In this tutorial, you will create a firefly effect that uses a light to illuminate the environment.

Volumetric Fog is a powerful tool in an environment artist's kit. Volumetric Fog is a wonderful addition to any scene that could use a sense of space, whether it be a dusty town, a gloomy cemetery, or a grand throne room. Most implementations of fog, such as exponential or linear fog, are computed at an object’s surface by the Shader that the surface uses. At most, this is once per pixel. Volumetric fog, on the other hand, is computed at intervals in the empty space in front of the camera, independent of any surface. In this tutorial, you will learn to create and adjust Volumetric Fog.

In this tutorial, you’ll learn to use occlusion culling to optimize rendering and performance of your 3D Unity projects.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to use the emissive properties of HDRP Materials to contribute to a Scene’s Global Illumination.

All High Definition Rendering Pipeline (HDRP) Light types have an Emission component that defines the emissive behavior of the light. With this component, you can set the color, intensity, range, and whether the light uses a cookie. Most lights share the same properties, except Directional Lights, which don’t have an adjustable range. In this workflow, we’ll go over the Emission component and how each property affects the lights.

By default, any objects that have reflectivity in a scene will reflect the currently assigned Skybox. If the scene is sparsely populated, it’s easy to assume this effect is appropriate; however, the illusion of true reflectivity falls apart once other objects are placed in proximity to the reflected object. Without special configuration, other objects will not reflect in the surface. In this tutorial, you will learn to create this special configuration.

Unity’s High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP) Lighting allows you to enhance your project’s visual appeal with ease. It uses a hybrid of Deferred and Forward Rendering Paths along with Tile and Cluster Renderers that allow the lighting to scale better than if you’re just using Unity’s built-in Rendering. In this tutorial, you will learn about HDRP and using it to light scenes.

Adding a light to a Particle System illuminates the environment and objects around the particles and makes the effect more impactful. In this tutorial, you will create a firefly effect that uses a light to illuminate the environment.

In this tutorial, we’ll go over how to set up Reflection Probes and how to get them to work in real-time. In Unity’s included sample scene of a Workshop Set, Reflection Probes are automatically included. Here, they will be removed so we can recreate our own Reflection Probes.

Ambient Occlusion is a post-processing effect that approximates crevice shadows in real time, darkening creases, holes, intersections, and surfaces that are close to each other. This gives a more realistic appearance to parts of objects where ambient light is blocked out or occluded. In this tutorial you'll learn how to add Ambient Occlusion to your Post Processing Stack and configure it for your scene.
